    Size on a tag means absolutely nothing.
    Women, especially American woman, need to put far less emphasis on size tags.

    Unfortunately, size on the tag is supposed to mean something. It's supposed to give you a specific number to look for when trying to buy pants. I wish women's pants were sized like guy's pants: waist measurement x length measurement. That would make things a TON easier!

    Apparently men's sizing isn't standard anymore either!

    Since when does "medium" mean normal/healthy/etc. It's the medium size - bigger than small, smaller than large. No reason to give the word more meaning than that.

    And as others said, it depends on your build. Size 8 can be a healthy size for some women.

    Frame and bone size has a lot to do with it. I'm considered underweight for my bone size and I still cant fit into a size 0 or 00 because I'm just too thick.
